Independent Auditor’s Report

on Annual Financial Report

Board of Education Meridian Community Unit School District No. 223 Ogle County, Illinois Report on the Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Meridian Community Unit School District No. 223, as of and for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the District’s financial statements as listed in the table of contents of this Annual Financial Report form. Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with the financial reporting provisions of the Illinois State Board of Education. Management is also responsible for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditor’s Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. Basis for Adverse Opinion on U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles As described more fully in Note 1, the financial statements are prepared by Meridian Community Unit School District No. 223 on the basis of financial reporting prescribed or permitted by the Illinois State Board of Education, which is a basis of accounting other than accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, to comply with the requirements of the Illinois State Board of Education. The effects on the financial statements of the variances between the regulatory basis of accounting described in Note 1 and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, although not reasonably determinable, are presumed to be material. Adverse Opinion on U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles In our opinion, because of the significance of the matter discussed in the “Basis for Adverse Opinion on U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” paragraph, the financial statements referred to in the first paragraph do not present fairly, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the financial position of Meridian Community Unit School District No. 223, as of June 30, 2016, or the changes in its financial position for the year then ended. Unmodified Opinion on Regulatory Basis of Accounting In our opinion, the financial statements referred to in the first paragraph present fairly, in all material respects, the assets and liabilities arising from cash transactions of Meridian Community Unit School District No. 223 as of June 30, 2016, and the revenues it received and expenditures it paid, and budgetary results for the year then ended, in accordance with the financial reporting provisions of the Illinois State Board of Education as described in Note 1. Other Matters Supplemental Schedules and Other Information Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements taken as a whole. The information provided on pages 2 through 4, supplementary schedules on pages 23 through 26, statistical section on pages 27 through 29 and the itemization schedule on page 33, the Schedule of the Employer’s Proportionate Share of Net Pension Liability and Schedule of Employer Contributions of the Teachers Retirement System of the State of Illinois, the Schedule of Changes in Net Pension Liability and Related Ratios and Schedule of Contributions of the Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund and Schedules for Trust and Agency Funds are presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the financial statements of Meridian Community Unit School District No. 223. Such information, except for the average daily attendance figure, included in the computation of operating expense per pupil on page 28 and per capita tuition charges on page 29, the Schedule of the Employer’s Proportionate Share of Net Pension Liability and Schedule of Employer Contributions of the Teachers Retirement System of the State of Illinois, and the Schedule of Changes in Net Pension Liability and Related Ratios and Schedule of Contributions of the Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund is the responsibility of management and has been derived from and

relate directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the information is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole. The information on pages 28-30 is propagated from information in the audited financial statements, but we take no responsibility for the accuracy of those calculations. The Report on Shared Services or Outsourcing on page 31 contains unaudited information concerning prior, current and future year expenditures which was provided by the District. The Administrative Cost Worksheet on page 32 contains unaudited information concerning the fiscal year 2017 budget which was provided by the District. The actual expenditure information on page 32 is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole. The average daily attendance figure, included in the computation of operating expense per pupil on page 28 and per capita tuition charges on page 29, and the Schedule of the Employer’s Proportionate Share of Net Pension Liability and Schedule of Employer Contributions of the Teachers Retirement System of the State of Illinois, and the Schedule of Changes in Net Pension Liability and Related Ratios and Schedule of Contributions of the Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund have not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements, and accordingly, we do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on them. The Table of Contents references a Federal Compliance Section on pages 37-46; however this District was not required to have a Single Audit and this section has not been completed. Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated October 11, 2016, on our consideration of Meridian Community Unit School District No. 223’s internal control over financial reporting and our tests of its compliance with certain provision of laws, regulations, contracts and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering Meridian Community Unit School District No. 223’s internal control over compliance.

Independent Auditor’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

and on Compliance and Other Matters Based on an Audit of Financial Statements Performed in Accordance with Government Auditing Standards

Board of Education Meridian Community Unit School District No. 223 Ogle County, Illinois We have audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the financial statements of Meridian Community Unit School District No. 223 as of and for the year ended June 30, 2016, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise Meridian Community Unit School District No. 223’s financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated October 11, 2016. Our opinion was adverse because the financial statements are not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. However, the financial statements were found to be fairly stated, which is a comprehensive basis of accounting other than generally accepted accounting principles, on the cash basis of accounting, in accordance with regulatory reporting requirements established by the Illinois State Board of Education. Internal Control Over Financial Reporting In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered Meridian Community Unit School District No. 223’s internal control over financial reporting (internal control) to determine the audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the District’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the District’s internal control. A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the District’s financial statements will not be prevented or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance. Our consideration of internal control over financial reporting was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies and therefore, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that were not identified. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be

material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified. We did identify certain deficiencies in internal control, described below, that we consider to be significant deficiencies.

1. The food service program operated at a profit of $200,572

Management’s response:

Management does not intend to run a for-profit food service program and will use profits to improve the program.

2. Material adjustments were required to properly report the District’s financial activity.

Management’s response:

Management will review the general ledger periodically to identify possible misclassifications and proper recording of lease transactions.

3. Federal expenditure reports were completed with reported expenditures in excess of

the expenditures recorded in the general ledger.

Management’s response:

Management will review expenditure reports to ensure they are filed accurately.

4. State and federal expenditure reports were not filed timely.

Management’s response:

Management will implement controls to ensure that expenditure reports are filed timely.

We also noted certain other matters involving the internal control over financial reporting that we reported to management of Meridian Community Unit School District No. 223 in a separate letter dated October 11, 2016. Compliance and Other Matters

As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether Meridian Community Unit School District No. 223’s financial statements are free of material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit and, accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards. However, we noted certain immaterial instances of noncompliance that we reported to management of Meridian Community Unit School District No. 223 in a separate letter dated October 11, 2016.

Notes to Financial Statements

June 30, 2016

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The District’s accounting policies conform to the cash basis of accounting, as defined by the Illinois State Board of Education. (a) Principles Used to Determine the Scope of the Reporting Entity

The District’s reporting entity includes the District’s governing board and all related organizations for which the District exercises oversight responsibility. The District has developed criteria to determine whether outside agencies with activities which benefit the citizens of the District, including joint agreements which serve pupils from numerous districts, should be included within its financial reporting entity. The criteria include, but are not limited to, whether the District exercises oversight responsibility (which includes financial interdependency, selection of governing authority, designation of management, ability to significantly influence operations, and accountability for fiscal matters), scope of public service, and special financing relationships. Joint agreements have been determined not to be part of the reporting entity after applying the manifesting of oversight, scope of public service and special financing relationships criteria, and, are therefore excluded from the accompanying financial statements because the District does not control the assets, operations or management of the joint agreements. In addition, the District is not aware of any entity which would exercise such oversight as to result in the District being considered a component unit of the entity.

(b) Basis of Presentation – Fund Accounting These financial statements comply with the regulatory basis of reporting as prescribed by the Illinois State Board of Education. The accounts of the District are organized on the basis of funds and account groups, each of which is considered a separate accounting entity. The operations of each fund are accounted for with a separate set of self-balancing accounts that comprise its assets and liabilities arising from cash transactions, fund balance, revenue received and expenditures paid. The District maintains individual funds required by the State of Illinois. These funds are presented on the regulatory basis as required for reports filed with the Illinois State Board of Education. District resources are allocated to and accounted for in individual funds based upon the purposes for which they are to be spent and the means by which spending activities are controlled. The following fund types and account groups are used by the District:

Notes to Financial Statements

Governmental Funds Governmental funds are those through which most governmental functions of the District are financed. The acquisition, use and balances of the District’s expendable financial resources and the related liabilities arising from cash transactions are accounted for through governmental funds. Educational Fund – This fund is the general operating fund of the District. It is used to account for all financial resources except those required to be accounted for in another fund. Operations and Maintenance Fund – This fund is also a general operating fund used to account for costs of maintaining school buildings. Debt Service Fund – This fund is a debt retirement fund. Resources of this fund are used to retire principal and interest maturities of outstanding bond obligations and other long-term debt instruments. Transportation Fund – This fund is a special revenue fund used to account for the costs of transporting pupils to and from school and school activities. Municipal Retirement/Social Security Fund – This fund is a special revenue fund used to pay the District’s share of municipal retirement benefits for covered employees. The District’s share of Social Security and Medicare-only is also paid from this fund. Capital Projects Fund – Proceeds of construction bond issues, the capital improvement tax levy, and if applicable, school facility occupation tax proceeds are accounted for in this fund. Working Cash Fund – The resources of this fund are held by the District to be used for temporary interfund loans to any fund of the District for which taxes are levied. Tort Fund – This fund is a special revenue fund used to account for tort immunity or tort judgment purposes. Fire Prevention and Safety Fund – Proceeds of fire prevention and safety bond issues and tax levy are accounted for in this fund. Fiduciary Funds Fiduciary funds are used to account for assets held by the District in a trustee capacity or as an agent for individuals, private organizations, other governments or other funds. Agency Funds – Agency funds include Student Activity Funds and Convenience Accounts. They account for assets held by the District as agent for the students, teachers and

Notes to Financial Statements

other organizations. These funds are custodial in nature and do not involve the measurement of the results of operations. The amounts due to the activity fund organizations are equal to the assets. Governmental Funds – Measurement Focus The financial statements of all governmental funds focus on the measurement of spending or "financial flow" and the determination of changes in financial position rather than upon net income determination. This means that only current assets and current liabilities are generally included on their balance sheets. Their reported fund balance (net current assets) is considered a measure of "available spendable resources." Governmental fund operating statements present increases (cash receipts and other financing sources) and decreases (cash disbursements and other financing uses) in net current assets. Accordingly, they are said to present a summary of sources and uses of "available spendable resources" during a period. General Fixed Assets and General Long-Term Debt Account Groups The accounting and reporting treatment applied to the fixed assets and long-term liabilities associated with a fund are determined by its measurement focus. Fixed assets used in governmental fund type operations are accounted for in the General Fixed Assets Account Group, rather than in governmental funds. Long-term liabilities expected to be financed from governmental funds are accounted for in the General Long-Term Debt Account Group, not in the governmental funds. The two account groups are not "funds." They are concerned only with the measure-ment of financial position. They are not involved with measurement of results of operations.

(c) Basis of Accounting Basis of accounting refers to when revenue received and expenditures paid are recognized in the accounts and how they are reported on the financial statements. The District maintains its accounting records for all funds and account groups on the cash basis of accounting under guidelines prescribed by the Illinois State Board of Education. Accordingly, revenue is recognized and recorded in the accounts when cash is received. In the same manner, expenditures are recognized and recorded upon the disbursement of cash. Assets of a fund are only recorded when cash is received or when a right to receive cash exists which arises from a previous cash transaction. Liabilities of a fund, similarly, result from previous cash transactions. Cash basis financial statements omit recognition of receivables and payables and other accrued and deferred items that do not arise from previous cash transactions.

Notes to Financial Statements

Proceeds from sales of bonds are included as other financing sources in the appropriate fund on the date received. Related bond principal payable in the future is recorded at the same time in the General Long-Term Debt Account Group.

(d) Budgets and Budgetary Accounting The budget for all Governmental Fund Types is prepared on the cash basis of accounting which is the same basis that is used in financial reporting. This allows for comparability between budget and actual amounts. This is an acceptable method in accordance with 105 ILCS 5/17-1. The budget was passed on September 24, 2015. The budget lapses at the end of each fiscal year. The District follows these procedures in establishing the budgetary data reflected in the financial statements. 1. The Superintendent submits to the Board of Education a proposed operating

budget for the fiscal year commencing on July 1. The operating budget includes proposed expenditures and the means of financing them.

2. A public hearing is held as to such budget prior to final action. 3. Prior to October 1, the budget is legally adopted through passage of a resolution. 4. Formal budgetary integration is employed as a management control device during

the year. 5. The Board of Education may make transfers between the various items in any

fund not exceeding in the aggregate 10% of the total of such fund as set forth in the budget.

6. The Board of Education may amend the budget by the same procedures required

of its original adoption.

(e) Cash The District considers cash on hand, cash on deposit with banks and other institutions, certificates of deposit, money market accounts, and repurchase agreements to be cash for financial statement purposes.

(f) Investments All investments are reported at fair value. The District has adopted a formal written investment policy. The institutions in which investments are made must be approved by the Board of Education.

Notes to Financial Statements

(g) Commingled Accounts The District uses common bank accounts to hold the monies of more than one fund. Interest earned on these common accounts is credited to each participating fund based on its approximate share of the account prior to the payment of interest.

(h) General Fixed Assets General fixed assets with expected useful lives that exceed one year and cost more than $500, are recorded as expenditures paid in the Governmental or Activity Funds and capitalized at cost in the general fixed assets account group. All fixed assets are valued at historical cost or estimated historical cost if actual historical cost is not available. Donated general fixed assets are stated at estimated fair market value as of the date of acquisition. Depreciation accounting is not considered applicable (except to determine the per capita tuition charge). Depreciation is computed using the straight line method over estimated lives ranging from three to fifty years. Estimated lives are determined based on the policies prescribed by the Illinois State Board of Education.

(2) Property Taxes The District’s property tax is levied each year on all taxable real property located in the District on or before the last Tuesday in December. The levy was passed by the board on December 17, 2015. Property taxes attach as an enforceable lien on property as of January 1 and are payable in two installments on approximately June 1 and September 1. The District receives significant distributions of tax receipts during June, July, August, September, October, and November. Taxes recorded in these financial statements are from the 2015, 2014, and prior tax levies. The following are the tax rate limits permitted by the Illinois Compiled Statutes and by local referendum and the actual rates levied per $100 of assessed valuation:

Deposits – custodial credit risk Custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that, in the event of a depository financial institution failure, the District’s deposits may not be returned to it. The District’s policy requires all amounts deposited or invested with financial institutions in excess of any insurance limit shall be collateralized by: (1) securities eligible for district investment or any other high-quality, interest-bearing security rated at least AA/Aa by one or more standard rating service to include Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s, or Fitch, (2) mortgages, (3) letters of credit issued by a Federal Home Loan Bank, or (4) loans covered by a State Guaranty under the Illinois Farm Development Act. The market value of the pledged securities shall equal or exceed the portion of the deposit requiring collateralization. The Chief Investment Officer shall determine other collateral requirements. Safekeeping and custody arrangements The preferred method of safekeeping is to have pledged securities registered in the District’s name and held by a third-party custodian. Safekeeping practices should qualify for the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 3 Deposits with Financial Institution, Investments (including Repurchase Agreements), and Reverse Repurchase Agreements, Category I, the highest recognized safekeeping procedures. As of June 30, 2016, $10,351,566 of the District’s bank balance of $10,602,566, were exposed to custodial credit risk as follows:

Uninsured and collateralized by securities held

Investments As of June 30, 2016, the District had the following investments:

Liquid Asset Fund Plus (ISDLAF+) 8,203,616$

The Illinois Funds Money Market Fund (formerly known as IPTIP) is a money market fund created in 1975 by the Illinois General Assembly. Its primary purpose is to provide the Public Treasurer and other custodians of public funds with an alternative investment vehicle which enable them to earn a competitive rate of return of fully collateralized investments, while maintaining immediate access to invested funds. The monies invested by the individual participants are pooled together and invested in U.S. Treasury bills and notes backed by full faith and credit of the U.S. Treasury. In addition, monies are invested in fully collateralized time deposits in Illinois financial institutions, in collateralized repurchase agreements, and in treasury mutual funds that invest in U.S. Treasury obligations and collateralized repurchase

agreements. Investments in Illinois Funds Money Market Fund are valued at the funds share price which is equivalent to fair market value. The Illinois School District Liquid Asset Fund Plus (ISDLAF+ or the “Fund”) is an intergovernmental investment program for school districts and community colleges in Illinois. Co-sponsored by Illinois ASBO, IASA and IASB, the program offers numerous opportunities to school districts for the investment and management of funds. The fund invests member deposits, on a pooled basis, primarily in short-term certificates of deposit and in high rated short-term obligations of the U.S. Treasury and major United States corporations and banks. The fair value of the District’s position in the pool is the same as the value of the pool shares. Interest rate risk In accordance with its investment policy, the District limits its exposure to interest rate risk, by structuring its portfolio to provide sufficient liquidity to pay District obligations as they come due. Credit risk is the risk that an issuer of an investment will not fulfill its obligations to the holder of the investment. The District’s investment policy seeks to minimize credit risk by requiring investment in securities allowed under the investment policy. The Illinois Funds and the Illinois School District Liquid Asset Plus – Max Class are rated AAA by Standard & Poor’s at June 30, 2016. Custodial credit risk Custodial credit risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty (e.g., broker-dealer) to a transaction, the District will not be able to recover the value of its investment or collateral securities that are in the possession of another party. With respect to investments, custodial credit risk generally applies only to direct investments in marketable securities. Custodial credit risk does not apply to indirect investments in securities through the use of mutual funds or governmental investment pools such as Illinois Funds and ISDLAF+. Concentration of credit risk No investment in any one issuer, other than U.S. Treasury securities, mutual funds, Illinois Funds, and ISDLAF+, represent 5% or more of the District’s total investments.

(5) Employee Pensions and Other Benefit Plans The District participates in multiple retirement plans to provide retirement benefits to its employees. For the year ended June 30, 2016, the District recorded a total of $1,165,489 in payments to the various retirement plans as detailed below. It should be noted that actuarial accrued liabilities, deferred inflows of resources and deferred out flows of resources are not recorded in the financial statements since the District uses the regulatory basis of accounting as prescribed or permitted by the Illinois State Board of Education as described in Note 1. (a) Teachers’ Retirement System of the State of Illinois

Plan description The employer participates in the Teachers’ Retirement System of the State of Illinois (TRS). TRS is a cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan that was created by the Illinois legislature for the benefit of Illinois public school teachers employed outside the city of Chicago. TRS members include all active non-annuitants who are employed by a TRS-covered employer to provide services for which teacher licensure is required. The Illinois Pension Code outlines the benefit provisions of TRS, and amendments to the plan can be made only by legislative action with the Governor’s approval. The TRS Board of Trustees is responsible for the System’s administration. TRS issues a publicly available financial report that can be obtained at http://trs.illinois.gov/pubs/cafr; by writing to TRS at 2815 W. Washington, PO Box 19253, Springfield, IL 62794; or by calling (888) 877-0890, option 2. Benefits provided TRS provides retirement, disability, and death benefits. Tier I members have TRS or reciprocal system service prior to January 1, 2011. Tier I members qualify for retirement benefits at age 62 with five years of service, at age 60 with 10 years, or age 55 with 20 years. The benefit is determined by the average of the four highest years of creditable earnings within the last 10 years of creditable service and the percentage of average salary to which the member is entitled. Most members retire under a formula that provides 2.2 percent of final average salary up to a maximum of 75 percent with 34 years of service. Disability and death benefits are also provided. Tier II members qualify for retirement benefits at age 67 with 10 years of service, or a discounted annuity can be paid at age 62 with 10 years of service. Creditable earnings for retirement purposes are capped and the final average salary is based on the highest consecutive eight years of creditable service rather than the last four. Disability provisions for Tier II are identical to those of Tier I. Death benefits are payable under a formula that is different from Tier I.

Notes to Financial Statements

Essentially all Tier I retirees receive an annual 3 percent increase in the current retirement benefit beginning January 1 following the attainment of age 61 or on January 1 following the member’s first anniversary in retirement, whichever is later. Tier II annual increases will be the lesser of three percent of the original benefit or one-half percent of the rate of inflation beginning January 1 following attainment of age 67 or on January 1 following the member’s first anniversary in retirement, whichever is later. Contributions The state of Illinois maintains the primary responsibility for funding TRS. The Illinois Pension Code, as amended by Public Act 88-0593 and subsequent acts, provides that for years 2010 through 2045, the minimum contribution to the System for each fiscal year shall be an amount determined to be sufficient to bring the total assets of the System up to 90 percent of the total actuarial liabilities of the System by the end of fiscal year 2045. Contributions from active members and TRS contributing employers are also required by the Illinois Pension Code. The contribution rates are specified in the pension code. The active member contribution rate for the year ended June 30, 2016, was 9.4 percent of creditable earnings. The member contribution, which may be paid on behalf of employees by the employer, is submitted to TRS by the employer. For the year ended June 30, 2016, the District reported expenditures of $679,403 for this contribution.

On behalf contributions to TRS. The state of Illinois makes employer pension contributions on behalf of the employer. For the year ended June 30, 2016, state of Illinois contributions recognized by the employer were based on the state’s proportionate share of the collective net pension liability associated with the employer, and the employer recognized revenue and expenditures of $2,495,431 in pension contributions from the state of Illinois.

2.2 formula contributions. Employers contribute 0.58 percent of total creditable earnings for the 2.2 formula change. The contribution rate is specified by statute. Contributions for the year ended June 30, 2016, were $41,143, and are deferred because they were paid after the June 30, 2015 measurement date.

Federal and special trust fund contributions. When TRS members are paid from federal and special trust funds administered by the employer, there is a statutory requirement for the employer to pay an employer pension contribution from those funds. Under a policy adopted by the TRS Board of Trustees that has been in effect since the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006, employer

Notes to Financial Statements

contributions for employees paid from federal and special trust funds will be the same as the state contribution rate to TRS. Public Act 98-0674 now requires the two rates to be the same. For the year ended June 30, 2016, the employer pension contribution was 36.06 percent of salaries paid from federal and special trust funds. For the year ended June 30, 2016, salaries totaling $90,383 were paid from federal and special trust funds that required employer contributions of $32,592. These contributions are deferred because they were paid after the June 30, 2015 measurement date.

Employer retirement cost contributions. Under GASB Statement No. 68, contributions that an employer is required to pay because of a TRS member retiring are categorized as specific liability payments. The employer is required to make a one-time contribution to TRS for members retiring under the Early Retirement Option (ERO). The payments vary depending on the member’s age and salary. The maximum employer ERO contribution under the current program is 146.5 percent and applies when the member is age 55 at retirement. For the year ended June 30, 2016, the employer paid $0 to TRS for employer ERO contributions. The employer is also required to make a one-time contribution to TRS for members granted salary increases over 6 percent if those salaries are used to calculate a retiree’s final average salary. A one-time contribution is also required for members granted sick leave days in excess of the normal annual allotment if those days are used as TRS service credit. For the year ended June 30, 2016, the employer paid $0 to TRS for employer contributions due on salary increases in excess of 6 percent and $0 for sick leave days granted in excess of the normal annual allotment.

Pension Liabilities, Pension Expense, and Deferred Outflows of Resources and Deferred Inflows of Resources Related to Pensions At June 30, 2016, the employer had a liability for its proportionate share of the net pension liability (first amount shown below) that reflected a reduction for state pension support provided to the employer. The state’s support and total are for disclosure purposes only. The amount of the employer’s net pension liability, the related state support, and the total portion of the net pension liability that was associated with the employer were as follow:

Employer's proportionate share of the net pension liability 2,004,876$

State's proportionate share of the net pension liablity

The net pension liability was measured as of June 30, 2015, and the total pension liability used to calculate the net pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2014, and rolled forward to June 30, 2015. The employer’s proportion of the net pension liability was based on the employer’s share of contributions to TRS for the measurement year ended June 30, 2015, relative to the projected contributions of all participating TRS employers and the state during that period. At June 30, 2015, the employer’s proportion was .0030604087 percent, which was an increase of .0013533093 from its proportion measured as of June 30, 2014.

Actuarial assumptions The total pension liability in the June 30, 2015 actuarial valuation was determined using the following actuarial assumptions, applied to all periods included in the measurement: Inflation 3.00 percent Salary increases varies by amount of service credit Investment rate of return 7.50 percent, net of pension plan investment expense, including inflation Mortality rates were based on the RP-2014 White Collar Table with adjustments as appropriate for TRS experience. The rates are used on a fully-generational basis using projection table MP-2014. The actuarial assumptions for the years ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 were different. The actuarial assumptions used in the June 30, 2015 valuation were based on the 2015 actuarial experience analysis. The investment return assumption remained at 7.5 percent, salary increase assumptions were lowered, retirement rates were increased, mortality updates were made and other assumptions were revised. The actuarial assumptions used in the June 30, 2014 valuation were based on updates to economic assumptions adopted in 2014 which lowered the investment return assumption from 8.0 percent to 7.5 percent. The salary increase and inflation assumptions were also lowered from their 2013 levels. The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a building-block method in which best-estimate ranges of expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of pension plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class. These ranges are combined to produce the long-term expected rate of return by weighting the expected future real rates of return by the target asset allocation percentage and by adding expected inflation. The target allocation and best estimates of arithmetic real rates of return for each major asset class that were used by the actuary are summarized in the following table:

Discount rate At June 30, 2015, the discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was a blended rate of 7.47 percent, which was a change from the June 30, 2014 rate of 7.50 percent. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that employee contributions, employer contributions, and state contributions will be made at the current statutorily-required rates. Based on those assumptions, TRS’s fiduciary net position at June 30, 2015 was not projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current active and inactive members and all benefit recipients. Tier I’s liability is partially funded by Tier II members, as the Tier II member contribution is higher than the cost of Tier II benefits. Due to this subsidy, contributions from future members in excess of the service cost are also included in the determination of the discount rate. Despite the subsidy, all projected future payments were not covered, so a slightly lower long-term expected rate of return on TRS investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability. At June 30, 2014, the discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 7.50 percent. The discount rate was the same as the actuarially-assumed rate of return on investments that year because TRS’s fiduciary net position and the subsidy provided by Tier II were sufficient to cover all projected benefit payments.

(b) Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund Pension Plan

Plan Description. The District’s defined benefit pension plan for Regular employees provides retirement and disability benefits, post retirement increases, and death benefits to plan members and beneficiaries. The District’s plan is managed by the Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund (IMRF), the administrator of a multi-employer public pension fund. A summary of IMRF’s pension benefits is provided in the “Benefits Provided” section of this document. Details of all benefits are available from IMRF. Benefit provisions are established by statute and may only be changed by the General Assembly of the State of Illinois. IMRF issues a publicly available Comprehensive Annual Financial Report that includes financial statements, detailed information about the pension plan’s fiduciary net position, and required supplementary information. That report may be obtained online at www.imrf.org. Benefits Provided. IMRF has three benefit plans. The vast majority of IMRF members participate in the Regular Plan (RP). The Sheriff’s Law Enforcement Personnel (SLEP) plan is for sheriffs, deputy sheriffs, and selected police chiefs. Counties could adopt the Elected County Official (ECO) plan for officials elected prior to August 8, 2011 (the ECO plan was closed to new participants after that date). All three IMRF benefit plans have two tiers. Employees hired before January 1, 2011, are eligible for Tier 1 benefits. Tier 1 employees are vested for pension benefits when they have at least eight years of qualifying service credit. Tier 1 employees who retire at age 55 (at reduced benefits) or after age 60 (at full benefits) with eight years of service are entitled to an annual retirement benefit, payable monthly for life, in an amount equal to

1-2/3% of the final rate of earnings for the first 15 years of service credit, plus 2% for each year of service credit after 15 years to a maximum of 75% of their final rate of earnings. Final rate of earnings is the highest total earnings during any consecutive 48 months within the last 10 years of service, divided by 48. Under Tier 1, the pension is increased by 3% of the original amount on January 1 every year after retirement. Employees hired on or after January 1, 2011, are eligible for Tier 2 benefits. For Tier 2 employees, pension benefits vest after ten years of service. Participating employees who retire at age 62 (at reduced benefits) or after age 67 (at full benefits) with ten years of service are entitled to an annual retirement benefit, payable monthly for life, in an amount equal to 1-2/3% of the final rate of earnings for the first 15 years of service credit, plus 2% for each year of service credit after 15 years to a maximum of 75% of their final rate of earnings. Final rate of earnings is the highest total earnings during any 96 consecutive months within the last 10 years of service, divided by 96. Under Tier 2, the pension is increased on January 1 every year after retirement, upon reaching age 67, by the lesser of:

3% of the original pension amount, or

1/2 of the increase in the Consumer Price Index of the original pension amount. Employees Covered by Benefit Terms. As of December 31, 2015, the following employees were covered by the benefit terms:

Retirees and beneficiaries currently receiving benefits 88

Inactive plan members entitled to but not yet receiving benefits 131

Active members 84

Total 303

Contributions. As set by statute, the District’s Regular Plan Members are required to contribute 4.5% of their annual covered salary. The statute requires employers to contribute the amount necessary, in addition to member contributions, to finance the retirement coverage of its own employees. The District’s annual contribution rate for calendar year 2015 was 10.65%. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, the District contributed $174,744 to the plan. The District also contributes for disability benefits, death benefits, and supplemental retirement benefits, all of which are pooled at the IMRF level. Contribution rates for disability and death benefits are set by IMRF’s Board of Trustees, while the supplemental retirement benefits rate is set by statute. Net Pension Liability. The District’s net pension liability was measured as of December 31, 2015. The total pension liability used to calculate the net pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of that date.

Actuarial Assumptions. The following are the methods and assumptions used to determine total pension liability at December 31, 2015:

The actuarial cost method used was Entry Age Normal.

The asset valuation method used was Market Value of Assets.

The inflation rate was assumed to be 2.75%.

Salary increases were expected to be 3.75% to 14.50%, including inflation.

The investment rate of return was assumed to be 7.49%.

Projected retirement age was from the Experience-based table of rates, specific to the type of eligibility condition, last updated for the 2014 valuation according to an experience study from years 2011 to 2013.

The IMRF-specific rates for Mortality (for non-disabled retirees) were developed from the RP-2014 Blue Collar Health Annuitant Mortality Table with adjustments to match current IMRF experience.

For disabled retirees, an IMRF-specific mortality table was used with fully generational projection scale MP-2014 (base year 2014). The IMRF-specific rates were developed from the RP-2014 Disabled Retirees Mortality Table, applying the same adjustments that were applied for non-disabled lives.

For active members, an IMRF-specific mortality table was used with fully generational projection scale MP-2014 (base year 2014). The IMRF-specific rates were developed from the RP-2014 Employee Mortality Table with adjustments to match current IMRF experience.

The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a building-block method in which best-estimate ranges of expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of pension plan investment expense, and inflation) are developed for each major asset class. These ranges are combined to produce the long-term expected rate of return by weighting the expected future real rates of return to the target asset allocation percentage and adding expected inflation. The target allocation and best estimates of geometric real rates of return for each major asset class are summarized in the following table:

Portfolio Target Long-Term Expected

Single Discount Rate. A Single Discount Rate of 7.49% was used to measure the total pension liability. The projection of cash flow used to determine this Single Discount Rate assumed that the plan members’ contributions will be made at the current contribution rate, and that employer contributions will be made at rates equal to the difference between actuarially determined contribution rates and the member rate. The Single Discount Rate reflects: 1. The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments (during the

period in which the fiduciary net position is projected to be sufficient to pay benefits), and

2. The tax-exempt municipal bond rate based on an index of 20-year general obligation bonds with an average AA credit rating (which is published by the Federal Reserve) as of the measurement date (to the extent that the contributions for use with the long-term expected rate of return are not met).

For the purpose of the most recent valuation, the expected rate of return on plan investments is 7.50%, the municipal bond rate is 3.57%, and the resulting single discount rate is 7.49%. Changes in Net Pension Liability

Employees not qualifying for coverage under the Teachers’ Retirement System of the State of Illinois or the Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund are considered “non-participating employees”. These employees and those qualifying for coverage under the Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund are covered under Social Security. The District paid $127,088, the total required contribution for the current fiscal year.

(e) Medicare All employees, except certificated personnel hired prior to April 1, 1986, are covered under the Basic Hospital Insurance Plan provision of the medicare health insurance program. The District paid $116,675, the total required contribution for the current fiscal year.

(6) Fund Balance Reporting

According to Government Accounting Standards, fund balances are to be classified into five major classifications: Nonspendable Fund Balance, Restricted Fund Balance, Committed Fund Balance, Assigned Fund Balance, and Unassigned Fund Balance. The Regulatory Model, followed by the District, only reports Reserved and Unreserved Fund Balances. Below are definitions of the differences and a reconciliation of how these balances are reported. (a) Nonspendable Fund Balance

The nonspendable fund balance classification includes amounts that cannot be spent because they are either (a) not in spendable form or (b) legally or contractually required to be maintained intact. The “not in spendable form” criterion includes items that are not expected to be converted to cash, for example inventories and prepaid amounts. Due to the cash basis nature of the District, all such items are expensed at the time of purchase, so there is nothing to report for this classification.

(b) Restricted Fund Balance The restricted fund balance classification refers to amounts that are subject to outside restrictions, not controlled by the entity. Things such as restrictions imposed by creditors, grantors, contributors, or laws and regulations of other governments, or imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation. Special Revenue Funds are by definition restricted for those specified purposes. The District has several revenue sources received within different funds that also fall into these categories – 1. Special Education

Cash receipts and the related cash disbursements of this restricted tax levy are accounted for in the Educational Fund. Expenditures disbursed exceeded revenue received for this purpose, resulting in no restricted fund balance. The State of Illinois requires a certain amount of general state aid to be used for special education purposes. For the year ended June 30, 2016, $3,148 of special education line item 1200 was paid with revenue code 3001.

2. Leasing Levy Cash receipts and the related cash disbursements of this restricted tax levy are accounted for in the Educational Fund. At June 30, 2016, cash receipts exceeded expenditures disbursed for this purpose, resulting in a restricted fund balance of $38,620 for this purpose. This balance is included in the financial statements as Reserved in the Educational Fund.

3. State Grants Proceeds from state grants and the related expenditures have been included in the Educational, Transportation, and Municipal Retirement/Social Security Funds. At June 30, 2016, revenue received exceeded expenditures disbursed for these purposes, resulting in a restricted fund balance of $28,065. This balance is recorded entirely in the Educational fund.

4. Federal Grants Proceeds from federal grants and the related expenditures have been included in the Educational, Transportation, and Municipal Retirement/Social Security Funds. At June 30, 2016, expenditures disbursed from federal grants exceeded revenues received for these purposes in the Educational Fund, resulting in no restricted fund balance.

5. IMRF/Social Security Cash disbursed and the related cash receipts of these restricted tax levies are accounted for in the Municipal Retirement/Social Security Fund. Revenue received exceeded expenditures disbursed for these purposes, resulting in a restricted fund balance of $304,450. For purposes of Regulatory reporting, the Social Security

portion of the fund balance, $40,332, will be classified as Reserved, and the Municipal Retirement portion of the fund balance, $264,114, will be classified as Unreserved.

6. Food Service All revenue generated by the school food service must be used to operate and improve its food services therefore making this a restricted fund balance. The District accounts for the food service in a separate fund within the Educational Fund to allow for the ease of tracking food service fund balance. At June 30, 2016 the restricted fund balance for food service is $1,223,665.

(c) Committed Fund Balance The committed fund balance classification refers to amounts that can only be used for specific purposes pursuant to constraints imposed by formal action of the government’s highest level of decision making authority (the School Board). Those committed amounts cannot be used for any other purpose unless the government removes or changes the specified use by taking the same type of formal action it employed to previously commit those amounts. The School Board commits fund balance by making motions or passing resolutions to adopt policy or to approve contracts. Committed fund balance also incorporates contractual obligations to the extent that existing resources in the fund have been specifically committed for use in satisfying those contractual requirements. Employee contracts for services rendered during the school year for employees electing twelve month pay schedules are recorded as disbursements in the fiscal year when such checks are drawn. At June 30, 2016, the total amount of unpaid contracts for services performed during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016 amounted to $818,059. This amount is shown as Unreserved in the Educational Fund.

(d) Assigned Fund Balance The assigned fund balance classification refers to amounts that are constrained by the government’s intent to be used for a specific purpose, but are neither restricted nor committed. Intent may be expressed by (a) the School Board itself or (b) the finance committee or by the Superintendent when the School Board has delegated the authority to assign amounts to be used for specific purposes. The District budgets property tax revenue based on the tax levy approved by the Board the previous December. For the fiscal year ending June 30, 2017, the District budgets property tax revenue based on the 2015 tax levy of which $3,557,559 was received by the District prior to June 30, 2016 and is therefore included as revenue under the cash method of accounting in this fiscal year. Under the assigned fund balance definition, $2,106,770 received in the Educational, Operations and Maintenance and Working Cash

funds is assigned fund balance in these funds as shown below and is shown as Unreserved in the financial statements.

(e) Unassigned Fund Balance The unassigned fund balance classification is the residual classification for amounts in the General Operating Funds for amounts that have not been restricted, committed, or assigned to specific purposes within the General Funds. Unassigned Fund Balance amounts are shown in the financial statements as Unreserved Fund Balances in the Educational, Operations and Maintenance, and Working Cash Funds.

(f) Regulatory – Fund Balance Definitions Reserved Fund Balances are those balances that are reserved for a specific purpose, other than the regular purpose of any given fund. Unreserved Fund Balances are all balances that are not reserved for a specific purpose other than the specified purpose of a fund.

(13) Other Postemployment Benefits (OPEB) (a) Teacher Health Insurance Security (THIS) Fund

The employer participates in the Teacher Health Insurance Security (THIS) Fund, a cost-sharing, multiple-employer defined benefit post-employment healthcare plan that was established by the Illinois legislature for the benefit of retired Illinois public school teachers employed outside the city of Chicago. The THIS Fund provides medical, prescription, and behavioral health benefits, but it does not provide vision, dental, or life insurance benefits to annuitants of the Teachers’ Retirement System (TRS). Annuitants not enrolled in Medicare may participate in the state-administered participating provider option plan or choose from several managed care options. Annuitants who are enrolled in Medicare Parts A and B may be eligible to enroll in a Medicare Advantage plan. The State Employees Group Insurance Act of 1971 (5 ILCS 375) outlines the benefit provisions of the THIS Fund and amendments to the plan can be made only by legislative action with the Governor’s approval. The plan is administered by the Illinois Department of Central Management Services (CMS) with the cooperation of TRS. Section 6.6 of the State Employees Group Insurance Act of 1971 requires all active contributors to TRS who are not employees of the state to make a contribution to the THIS Fund. The percentage of employer required contributions in the future will not exceed 105 percent of the percentage of salary actually required to be paid in the previous fiscal year.

On behalf contributions to the THIS Fund

The state of Illinois makes employer retiree health insurance contributions on behalf of the employer. State contributions are intended to match contributions to the THIS Fund from active members which were 1.07 percent of pay during the year ended June 30, 2016. State of Illinois contributions were $75,013 and the employer recognized revenue and expenditures of this amount during the year.

Employer contributions to the THIS Fund

The employer also makes contributions to the THIS Fund. The employer THIS Fund contribution was 0.80 percent during the year ended June 30, 2016. For the year ended June 30, 2016, the employer paid $56,085 to the THIS Fund, which was 100 percent of the required contribution.

Notes to Financial Statements

Further information on the THIS Fund The publicly available financial report of the THIS Fund may be found on the website of the Illinois Auditor General: http://www.auditor.illinois.gov/Audit-Reports/ABC-List.asp. The current reports are listed under “Central Management Services.” Prior reports are available under “Healthcare and Family Services.”

(b) Non-certified employees

The District has evaluated its potential liability for other postemployment benefits. The District provides continued health insurance coverage at the active employer rate to all IMRF eligible employees in accordance with Illinois statues, which creates an implicit subsidy of retiree health insurance. Former employees who choose to retain their rights to health insurance through the District are required to pay 100% of the current premium. For the year ended June 30, 2016, four former employees have chosen to stay in the District’s health insurance plan. Because this would result in an immaterial implicit subsidy, the District has chosen not to calculate this implicit subsidy in accordance with GASB Statement No. 45, Accounting and Financial Reporting by Employers for Postemployment Benefits Other Than Pensions. Additionally, the District has no former employees for whom the District is providing an explicit subsidy and no current employees with agreements for future explicit subsidies upon retirement. Therefore, the District has not recorded any postemployment benefit liability as of June 30, 2016.

(14) Risk Management

The District is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; damage to, and theft or destruction of assets; errors and omissions; injuries to employees; and natural disasters. Significant losses are covered by commercial insurance for all major programs except for workers’ compensation for which the District participates in the Illinois Association of School Board Workers’ Compensation Self Insurance Trust. Estimated payments are made annually to the Trust to cover claims, however, additional assessments could be required if the Trust reflects a deficit. For all insured programs, there have been no significant reductions in insurance coverage. Settlement amounts have not exceeded insurance coverage for the current year or the three prior years.

These lease agreements are accounted for in the Transportation Fund.

(16) Contingencies The District has received funding from state and federal grants in the current and prior years, which are subject to audits by the granting agencies. The School Board believes any adjustments that may arise from these audits will be insignificant to District operations. On October 29, 2015, the District entered into an agreement with a former employee to settle discrimination charges filed against the District upon the employee’s termination at the conclusion of the 2014-2015 school year. The agreement requires compensation to be paid by the District totaling $8,482, including $379 owed to the former employee for services rendered, $3,241 of attorney’s fees, and $4,862 of additional severance. The entire amount was paid during the year ended June 30, 2016. Additionally, the District incurred legal defense costs of $11,707 in connection with these charges.

(17) Unemployment Compensation

The District is self-insured for unemployment compensation. The District is therefore liable to the state for any payments made to any of its former employees claiming benefits. For the year ended June 30, 2016, claims paid out under the plan were $11,760.

(18) Subsequent Events Subsequent events are events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. These events and transactions either provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at the date of the balance sheet, including the estimates inherent in the process of preparing financial statements (that is, recognized subsequent events), or provide evidence about conditions that did not exist at the date of the balance sheet but arose after that date (that is, non-recognized subsequent events).

Notes to Financial Statements

The District has evaluated subsequent events through October 11, 2016, which was the date that these financial statements were available for issuance, and determined that there were no significant non-recognized subsequent events through that date, except as noted below:

Bus Lease Obligation

The District entered into a lease agreement for one Micro Bird bus with a lift in July 2016 for a term of four years. The principal amount of the lease is $63,424 and requires three annual payments of $12,137 beginning July 7, 2016 and on August 25th of each of the two subsequent years with a final payment of $31,677 on August 25, 2019. The District does not intend to make the final lease payment and will return the buses to the lessor. The future lease payments are as follows:

Year ending June 30, Principal Interest Total

2017 12,137$ -$ 12,137$

2018 10,191 1,946 12,137

Meridian Community Unit School District No. 223: We have audited the financial statements of Meridian Community Unit School District No. 223 for the year ended June 30, 2016 and have issued our report thereon dated October 11, 2016. Professional standards require that we provide you with the following information related to our audit. Our Responsibility Under U.S. Generally Accepted Auditing Standards and Government Auditing Standards As stated in the engagement letter dated July 11, 2016, our responsibility, as described by professional standards, is to express an opinion about whether the financial statements prepared by management with your oversight are fairly presented, in all material respects, in conformity with the cash basis of accounting and regulatory provisions prescribed by the Illinois State Board of Education, which is a comprehensive basis of accounting other than, and differs from, accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our audit of the financial statements does not relieve you or management of your responsibilities. Our responsibility for the supplementary information accompanying the financial statements, as described by professional standards, is to evaluate the presentation of the supplementary information in relation to the financial statements as a whole and to report on whether the supplementary information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole. Our responsibility is also to plan and perform our audit to obtain reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that the financial statements are free of material misstatement. Because an audit is designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance and because we did not perform a detailed examination of all transactions, there is a risk that material misstatements may exist and not be detected by us. As part of our audit, we considered the internal control of Meridian Community Unit School District No. 223. Such considerations were solely for the purpose of determining our audit procedures and not to provide any assurance concerning such internal control. As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, we performed tests of Meridian Community Unit School District No. 223’s compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grants. However, the objective of our tests was not to provide an opinion on compliance with such provisions.

Other Information in Documents Containing Audited Financial Statements The auditor’s responsibility for other information in documents containing audited financial statements does not extend beyond the financial information identified in our report, and we have no obligation to perform any procedures to corroborate other information contained in a document. Our responsibility is to read the other information and consider whether such information, or the manner of its presentation, is materially inconsistent with information, or the manner of its presentation, appearing in the financial statements. We are not aware of any documents or other information containing audited financial statements, and furthermore management has not requested us to devote attention to any documents containing audited financial statements. Significant Audit Findings Qualitative Aspects of Accounting Practices Management is responsible for selection and use of appropriate accounting policies. The significant accounting policies used by Meridian Community Unit School District No. 223 are described in Note 1 to the financial statements. No new accounting policies were adopted and the application of existing policies was not changed during the fiscal year. We noted no transactions entered into by the District during the year for which there is a lack of authoritative guidance or consensus. All significant transactions have been recognized in the financial statements in the proper period. Accounting estimates are an integral part of the financial statements prepared by management and are based on management’s knowledge and experience about past and current events and assumptions about future events. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to the financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting them may differ significantly from those expected. The financial statement disclosures are neutral, consistent, and clear. Difficulties Encountered in Performing the Audit We encountered no significant difficulties in dealing with management in performing and completing our audit. Corrected and Uncorrected Misstatements Professional standards require us to accumulate all known and likely misstatements identified during the audit, other than those that are clearly trivial, and communicate them to the appropriate level of management. Management has corrected all such misstatements. The following material misstatements detected as a result of audit procedures were corrected by management.

Adjustments totaling $4,856,950 to record the issuance and pay down of debt related to the Series 2016A/B bonds.

Adjustment of $859,910 to capitalize construction in progress expenditures

Adjustment of $245,385 to reclassify General State Aid to proper account for reporting purposes.

Adjustments totaling $81,131 to capitalize technology and copier equipment leases.

Adjustment of $63,847 to health insurance liability accounts.

Several reclassification entries to properly record various expenditures.

Disagreements with Management For purposes of this letter, professional standards define a disagreement with management as a financial accounting, reporting, or auditing matter, whether or not resolved to our satisfaction, that could be significant to the financial statements or the auditor’s report. We are pleased to report that no such disagreements arose during the course of our audit. Management Representations We have requested certain representations from management that are included in the management representation letter dated October 11, 2016. Management Consultations with Other Independent Accountants In some cases, management may decide to consult with other accountants about auditing and accounting matters, similar to obtaining a “second opinion” on certain situations. If a consultation involves application of an accounting principle to the District’s financial statements or a determination of the type of auditor’s opinion that may be expressed on those statements, our professional standards require the consulting accountant to check with us to determine that the consultant has all the relevant facts. To our knowledge, there were no such consultations with other accountants. Other Audit Findings or Issues We generally discuss a variety of matters, including the application of accounting principles and auditing standards with management each year prior to retention as the District’s auditors. However, these discussions occurred in the normal course of our professional relationship and our responses were not a condition to our retention. Other Matters With respect to the supplementary information accompanying the financial statements, we made certain inquiries of management and evaluated the form, content, and methods of preparing the information to determine that the information complies with the cash basis of accounting and regulatory provisions prescribed by the Illinois State Board of Education, which is a comprehensive basis of accounting other than, and differs from, accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the method of preparing it has not changed from the prior period, and the information is appropriate and complete in relation to our audit of the financial statements. We

Meridian CUSD No. 223 - 2016 4

compared and reconciled the supplementary information to the underlying accounting records used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial statements themselves. Internal Control Matters In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of Meridian Community Unit School District No. 223 as of and for the year ended June 30, 2016, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, we considered Meridian Community Unit School District No. 223’s internal control over financial reporting (internal control) as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Meridian Community Unit School District No. 223’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Meridian Community Unit School District No. 223’s internal control. Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the preceding paragraph and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies and therefore material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that were not identified. A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. We did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance. We consider the following deficiencies in Meridian Community Unit School District No. 223’s internal control to be a significant deficiencies: Food Service Program The federal guidelines require that the entire food service program of the District be operated as a non-profit. Any profits are to be used to improve the food service program. The District profited $200,572 during FY16 for the food service program thus subsidizing the Education fund. The District has responded that it does not intend to run a for-profit food service program and will follow our recommendation to use profits to improve the program. Financial Reporting & Material Adjustments The District lacks adequate procedures over financial reporting to identify potential adjustments throughout the year and during the year end reporting process, which in turn required several material adjusting journal entries during our audit as detailed above. Appropriate procedures should be implemented to ensure proper financial reporting. The District has responded that Management

Page 88: meridian223.socs.net · Reviewed by Township Treasurer (Cook County only) Reviewed by Regional Superintendent/Cook ISC. Name of Township: District Superintendent/Administrator Name

Meridian CUSD No. 223 - 2016 5

will review the general ledger periodically to identify possible misclassifications and proper recording of transactions, including capital leases. Federal Award Program Expenditures and Expenditure Reports Title I and Title II expenditures claimed on the June 30, 2016 expenditure report exceeded the expenditures recorded in the applicable general ledger expenditure accounts. The District indicated that the program’s final expenditure reports will accurately reflect the appropriate expenditures. As of the date of this letter, the final expenditure reports have not been filed. The District has responded that it will file the required reports and implement controls to ensure accurate and timely filing in the future. State and Federal Award Program Expenditure Report Submissions The state guidelines require that expenditure reports for state and federal programs are to be submitted within 20 days after the quarter has ended. The District did not submit timely all quarterly expenditure reports for the Title I – Low Income, Title II – Teacher Quality, Early Childhood Block Grant, and Agriculture Education programs during the current fiscal year. The District has responded that Management will implement controls to ensure timely filing in the future.

Meridian Community Unit School District No. 223 Letter of Comments

June 30, 2016 1. Activity Funds

Controls over cash receipts and disbursements in the activity funds has improved significantly. We noted a few instances of document exceptions, but overall the documentation is much improved from prior years.

We noted instances in which disbursements issued to those in control of the activity fund were signed by the same individual. We recommend that any time a disbursement is made to an individual with control over the account, another authorized individual sign the check.

2. Internal Controls

As noted in prior years, numerous internal control deficiencies in the District’s accounting system existed and have been reported as such. However, during FY16 the District’s controls improved significantly and a number of these deficiencies have been corrected. The deficiencies that remain at June 30, 2016 are noted below.

Liability Accounts – The District’s payroll liability accounts contain several accounts with large debit balances and other accounts with large credit balances. These accounts should be reconciled monthly with the related payroll information to ensure that District expenses and employee withholding are accounted for properly.

Cash Disbursements – We noted various instances during our detail testing of the District’s cash disbursement function in which District procedures were not being followed. The exceptions noted related to maintaining properly authorized purchased orders and the inclusion of all disbursements in the listing of bills approved by the Board. We recommend the District strictly adhere to its policy of requiring authorized purchase orders and ensure all bills are appropriately reported to the board for approval.

3. IMRF Tax Levy

The IMRF tax levy is a restricted levy and the proceeds are intended only for use to pay IMRF expenses of the District. The IMRF revenue and expenses are combined with Social Security revenue and expenses in the Municipal Retirement/Social Security Fund (Fund 50). Because of the restricted nature of the IMRF tax levy, care should be taken to make sure the IMRF tax levy is not used for Social Security purposes. Because of the restricted nature of the IMRF portion of Fund 50, we suggest that the District revise the monthly Treasurer’s report. This report should split Fund 50 activity into two columns, IMRF and Social Security, and report the monthly income and expenses related to each in the respective column. Interest income should also be allocated in these two columns based on your method of calculation. This is a repeat comment from prior year.

4. Revenue Reporting

The state details the Requirements for Accounting, Budgeting, Financial Reporting, and Auditing in Title 23 of the Illinois Administrative Code including the specific account numbers in which state and federal grant awards are to be recorded. The District recorded inappropriate revenues in account 4991 dedicated for Medicaid Matching – Administrative Outreach. We recommend the District review state and federal grant award revenue accounts periodically to ensure only the appropriate revenues are being recorded in these accounts.

DEFICIT ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT (AFR) SUMMARY INFORMATION

New Provisions in the School Code, Section 17-1 (105 ILCS 5/17-1)

Balanced - no deficit reduction plan is required.

Instructions: If the Annual Financial Report (AFR) reflects that a "deficit reduction plan" is required as calculated below, then the school district is to complete the "deficit reduction

plan" in the annual budget and submit the plan to Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) within 30 days after accepting the audit report. This may require the FY2017 annual

budget to be amended to include a "deficit reduction plan" and narrative.

The "deficit reduction plan" is developed using ISBE guidelines and format in the School District Budget Form 50-36. A plan is required when the operating funds listed below result

in direct revenues (line 7) being less than direct expenditures (line 8) by an amount equal to or greater than one-third (1/3) of the ending fund balance (line 10). That is, if the ending

fund balance is less than three times the deficit spending, the district must adopt and submit an original budget/amended budget with ISBE that provides a "deficit reduction plan" to

balance the shortfall within the next three years.

The following checklist is OPTIONAL; it is not a required form for completion of Single Audit information. The purpose of the

checklist is to assist in determining if appropriate information has been correctly completed within the Annual Financial Report (AFR).

This is not a complete listing of all Single Audit requirements, but highlights some of the more common errors found during ISBE reviews.

GENERAL INFORMATION

1. Signed copies of audit opinion letters have been included with audit package submitted to ISBE.

2. All opinion letters use the most current audit language and formatting as mandated in SAS 115/SAS 117 and other pronouncements.

3. ALL Single Audit forms within the AFR Excel workbook have been completed, where appropriate.

- For those forms that are not applicable, "N/A" or similar language has been indicated.

4. ALL Federal revenues reported in FRIS Report 0053 (Summary of Payments) are accounted for in the Schedule of Expenditures of

Federal Awards (SEFA).

Programs funded through ARRA are identified separately in SEFA

5. Federal revenues reported on the AFR reconcile to Federal revenues reported on the SEFA.

- Verify or reconcile on reconciliation worksheet.

6. The total value of non-cash COMMODITIES has been included within the AFR on the INDIRECT COSTS page (ICR Computation 30) on Line 11.

It should not be included in the Statement of Revenues Received (REVENUES 9-14) within the AFR Accounts 4210 - 4299.

Those accounts are specific cash programs, not non-cash assistance such as COMMODITIES.

7. Complete audit package (Data Collection Form, audit reports, etc.) has been submitted electronically to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse in

Jeffersonville, Indiana.

SCHEDULE OF EXPENDITURES OF FEDERAL AWARDS

8. Programs funded through ARRA (Federal Stimulus funds) are identified separately from "regular" Federal programs

- Program name includes "ARRA - " prefix

- Correct ARRA CFDA and ISBE program numbers are listed

9. All prior year's projects are included and reconciled to final FRIS report amounts.

- Including reciept/revenue and expenditure/disbursement amounts.

10. All current year's projects are included and reconciled to most recent FRIS report filed.

- Including revenue and expenditure/disbursement amounts.

11. Differences in reported spending amounts on the SEFA and the final FRIS reports should be detailed and/or documented in a finding,

with discrepancies reported as Questioned Costs.

12. Prior-year and Current-year Child Nutrition Programs (CNP) are included on the SEFA (with prior-year program showing total cash received):

Project year runs from October 1 to September 30, so projects will cross fiscal year;

This means that audited year revenues will include funds from both the prior year and current year projects.

13. Each CNP project should be reported on separate line (one line per project year per program).

14. Total CNP Revenue amounts are consistent with grant amounts awarded by ISBE for each program by project year.

15. Total CNP Expenditure amounts are consistent with grant amounts awarded by ISBE for each program by project year.

16. Exceptions should result in a finding with Questioned Costs.

17. The total value of non-cash COMMODITIES has been reported on the SEFA (CFDA 10.555).

- The value is determined from the following, with each item on a separate line:

* Non-Cash Commodities: Monthly Commodities Bulletin for April (From the Illinois Commodities System accessed through ISBE web site)

Total commodities = A PAL Allocated + B PAL Allocated + Processing Deductions + Total Bonus Allocated

Verify Non-Cash Commodities amount on ISBE web site: http://www.isbe.net/business.htm.

* Non-Cash Commodities: Commodities information for non-cash items received through Other Food Services

Districts should track separately through year; no specific report available from ISBE

Verify Non-Cash Commodities amount through Other Food Services on ISBE web site: http://www.isbe.net/business.htm.

* Department of Defense Fresh Fruits and Vegetables (District should track through year)

- The two commodity programs should be reported on separate lines on the SEFA.

Verify Non-Cash Commodities amount through DoD Fresh Fruits and Vegetables on ISBE web site: http://www.isbe.net/business.htm.

21. Medicaid Fee-for-Service funds, E-Rate reimbursements and Build America Bond interest subsidies have not been included on the SEFA.

22. All programs tested (not just Type A programs) are indicated by either an * or (M) on the SEFA.

23. NOTES TO THE SEFA within the AFR Excel workbook (SEFA NOTES) have been completed.

Including, but not limited to:

24. Basis of Accounting

25. Name of Entity

26. Type of Financial Statements

27. Subrecipient information (Mark "N/A" if not applicable)

* ARRA funds are listed separately from "regular" Federal awards

SUMMARY OF AUDITOR RESULTS/FINDINGS/CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN

33. Separate finding for each Federal program (i.e., don't report same finding for multiple programs on one sheet).

34. Separate finding sheet for each finding on programs (e.g., excess interest earned and unallowable expenditures are two findings

and should be reported separately, even if both are on same program).

35. Questioned Costs have been calculated where there are questioned costs.

36. Questioned Costs are separated by project year and by program (and sub-project, if necessary).

37. Questioned Costs have been calculated for Interest Earned on Excess Cash on Hand.

- Should be based on actual amount of interest earned

- Questioned Cost amounts are broken out between programs if multiple programs are listed on the finding

1 To meet state or other requirements, auditees may decide to include certain nonfederal awards (for example, state awards) in this schedule. If such nonfederal data are presented,

they should be segregated and clearly designated as nonfederal. The title of the schedule should also be modified to indicate that nonfederal awards are included.2 When the CFDA number is not available, the auditee should indicate that the CFDA number is not available and include in the schedule the program's name and, if applicable,

other identifying number.3 When awards are received as a subrecipient, the name of the pass-through entity and identifying number assigned by the pass-through entity must be included in the schedule. Title 2 CFR §200.510 (b)(2)

4 The Uniform Guidance requires that the value of federal awards expended in the form of non-cash assistance, the amount of insurance in effect during the year, and loans or loan guarantees

outstanding at year end be included in either the schedule or a note to the schedule. Although it is not required, the Uniform Guidance states that it is preferable to present this information in

the schedule (versus the notes to the schedule). If the auditee presents non-cash assistance in the notes to the schedule, the auditor should be aware that such amounts must

still be included in part III of the data collection form.
